On January 5th, ten days have passed since Christmas.

At eight o'clock in the morning, He Xiao got up.

Today is the day of the annual meeting of Xing Yage, as a national chain catering company, plus Zhang Ya, the popular queen of the old and always old, it is natural to be grander.

So He Xiao didn't go too sloppy, took a shower early in the morning, and rubbed his body inside and out with a bath towel, especially the face and neck, so that the rubbing was red, and the bath towel was full of mud.

This is not to say how dirty his body is, but the dander produced by the normal metabolism of the human body, as well as the secretions of skin breathing, even if he takes a bath every day, it will still be covered again the next day, and it will be endless.

Bathing is an addictive thing, the body will feel very relaxed, the mental state will become very good, and the day will be full of energy.

He Xiao put on a bath towel, looked in the mirror, and couldn't help but sigh, that sentence is really right, the most handsome moment for a man is out of the bath, and the ugliest moment for a woman is also just out of the bath......

Because he just finished taking a photo shoot a few days ago, he didn't need to re-take care of his eyebrows, so he simply blew his hair, and then walked downstairs and drove out.

Coincidentally, the place where Xing Yage held the annual meeting this time was the place where Lin Yunkai took him to the party last time, which shows that this hotel is really powerful and often contracts some large-scale party activities.

"Hey, Brother Yuan, I'm here, have you entered?" Sitting in the car, He Xiao took out his mobile phone and called Xu Yuan.

He sent a text message in advance last night to inform the other party that he was coming to the annual meeting today, and in order to prevent a sense of identity alienation, He Xiao still called him Brother Yuan.

"What is it...... Brother Xiao, we've arrived, why don't I go out to pick you up?" Xu Yuan's voice didn't sound as much as before, and inevitably his attitude towards He Xiao changed greatly.

He Xiao couldn't help but sigh, in the end, he still couldn't eliminate this sense of distance.

It's no wonder that since he left Xing Ya Ge, he has been flying all the way, and he has less and less contact with the partners of these bands at the beginning, only when the third episode of "The Voice of Dreams" was broadcast, Xu Yuan and Li Yang called him to congratulate him, and in other days, there was almost no contact.

One is a hot super newcomer today, and the other is a low-level guitarist who is not even a star.

He couldn't help but think of an article "Hometown" he had read on his black phone, one of which told the story of Mr. Lu Xun and Runtu, when the joyful "Runtu Brother" shouted, in exchange for a respectful "Master", which was somewhat similar to this situation.

"No...... I'm at the door, just go in by yourself. With a slight sigh in his heart, after two seconds of silence, He Xiao hung up the phone and walked into the hotel alone.

Because he came here once before, he is familiar with the way, but when he came for the first time, his face was not covered, and now he has to wear a mask.

On the second floor of the hall, He Xiao saw a very eye-catching red banner in the air, with some inspirational celebration slogans, and the stage was also set up, on which a variety of digital products and precious snacks were placed, which seemed to be the prize of today's annual meeting.

There were already a lot of people at the scene, except for the store managers in various cities, that is, the bands that were performing, that is, almost all the people present were playing music.

On both sides were rows of dining tables, and He Xiao passed through the middle, and finally found the location of the third store of Yanjing Star Accord near the front row.

Because he came to the annual meeting today as a "former employee of the three stores", he was not a special guest, so he did not have a big name to let a group of people crowd around to welcome the VIP seat, but sat next to Xu Yuan and them very consciously.

"I'm sorry, I'm late. ”

He Xiao took off his mask and greeted everyone who hadn't seen him for a long time, and his tone was no different from before.

Everyone's expressions were complicated, and the eyes that looked at He Xiao were mixed with all kinds of emotion, not only Brother Chen and Manager Liu, but even the store manager who had never met him very much, also looked at him with a strange face.

How long has it been?

It's just a year!

He Xiao has gone from being a little drummer in the tavern to facing the national audience and being able to compete with top singers such as Zhang Ya and Tang Ming on the same stage.

As the old saying goes, thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river.

But in today's society full of infinite opportunities, where will it take 30 years? Three months is enough to make a person change dramatically.

"Brother Xiao, when I went back to the store to pick up your shift, you left in a hurry, and I couldn't talk to you properly, I'll toast you first!"

Brother Chen sat opposite He Xiao, the lead singer of the second group of bands who used to comb his big back and make He Xiao look up, now has a short haircut, the original hairstyle can't stand up, and he is a lot more modest.

Brother Chen laughed. ”

He Xiao waved his hand, speaking of which, he can have today, thanks to Brother Chen's "heroic broken leg", if he hadn't had this incident back then, it would not have been He Xiao's turn to take over his class.

After Brother Youchen started this, Li Yang, Manager Liu and other former colleagues also came over to say hello and said some distant polite words.

During this period, some people at other tables noticed He Xiao and recognized his identity, and they were surprised, but they didn't expect him to appear here.

Since the broadcast of "The Voice of Dreams", He Xiao has become a legend in Xing Ya Ge, there is no one in the stores who does not know him, and almost everyone knows that a rising star has come out of their Star Ya Ge.

And everyone has their own opinions on He Xiao's ability to become famous.

Some people worship him and see him as an example, while others are jealous of him and think that I can do the same.

All kinds of eyes are shown here, and He Xiao doesn't care.

He just sat there quietly, not seeing a little star, chatting with Xu Yuan and them, sharing some of his experiences in music.

During this period, Zhang Ya also appeared, and said a few words surrounded by a group of star Accord executives, and at the same time, she also noticed He Xiao, nodded to him, and did not say anything.

Twenty minutes later, the annual meeting officially began.

A total of 27 stores came to the scene, and each store sent a group of representative bands in addition to the store manager, which means that there are a total of 27 groups of bands on the scene.

These 27 groups of bands represent the epitome of millions of low-level musicians in China, who have no chance to debut, but have always worked hard for their musical dreams, and many of them may be like He Xiao, who have been wandering singers and slept on cold park benches.

Now they are gathered for a glass of wine because of their dreams.

Looking at this full house of musicians, He Xiao suddenly felt that people like Li Chengxu and others did not deserve to be called "idols" at all.

The real idol is not the little fresh meat piled up by the traffic, but these people who continue to work hard for their dreams.
